Jun 1, 2023 | 21:41 1 My Daughter, at 22 , took her paint crew out tonight after a successful week
They start every day at 6 am
Absolutely no government run monkey run business can even compare …


She employs each one , on her own , zero government aid , just hard word and dedication.
This woke mob wanting 4 day weeks , coffee breaks , blah blah blah if so screwed in the next 10 years it’s actually going to be funny to watch .
There is a small core of young people who are willing to earn their way in life and they will be the change in 10-20 years .
Absolutely no doubt
The ole 20-80 rule
The ones crying for handouts, more pay , less work are going to be so fooooked it going to be funny to watch . I can say that with confidence

  • jazz's Avatar Jun 2, 2023 | 05:14 7 Its a great thing to see entrepreneurship in this country at any level.

    I am deeply worried about the staggering mountain of debt and other legacy problems that our current govt has stacked up for our young people.

    An effective 60% tax rate on workers just to keep the lights on in this country, our wealth squandered and billions thrown at black hole projects, that is certainly a demotivating factor. Reply With Quote

    I hope you are right. But I'm afraid that the 80% will vote to take everything away from the 20% who are willing to work. Destroying the motivation of the remaining few. Reply With Quote

    There are many many many urban raised kids that have excellent work ethics and are raised in the busy hustle bustle of urban and city life that deserve as much and even more credit and admiration too.

    I think our world is being left in very competent hands of future generations.

    Yep there are bad apples from both urban and rural as there has always been. Reply With Quote

  • Jun 2, 2023 | 10:36 13 I am actually very optimistic about the upcoming generation. With the demographic shift going on, the opportunities are limitless.
    I think the socialist pendulum has swung as far to the left as it is going to go, and will swing to the right as this generation rebels against their parents. And out of necessity.

    Unfortunately, they don't have the numbers to outvote the retiring Chuck Chuck's who will stymie them every step of the way. Reply With Quote

  • Jun 2, 2023 | 18:03 14 Great to see.
    You have to be proud as a big part of that is on you.

    Friend has 2 young girls from the Rez that run combine for him in the fall.
    Says they have the cabs all clean and the windows all washed before he is ready to go.
    He thinks they are off to University this fall.
    Wishes them the best but sorry to lose them.

    Raised right just like your kids Furrow.

    They aren't all eating out of dumpsters like Chuck thinks. Reply With Quote

    I was responding to Furrow who had acknowledged farm kids and was just stating that many urban raised kids also have good work ethics many don't have same opportunities for family life that rural kids have and become very well accomplished adults.

    As I stated there is good and bad in both upbringings. Just sometimes urban kids have bigger challenges to overcome.

    Defiantly not looking for rural/urban divide. Sorry if it appeared that way to others. Reply With Quote

    Only 20% of the work force is willing to work? LOL

    Then how come we are at near record employment and the unemployment rate is really pretty low by historical standards.

    Are you going to tell us again that the 20% that work hard, all live in Alberta?

    Why do you have such a dim and arrogant view of your fellow Canadians that you believe that the only ones who work hard share your right wing views of the world and the rest are just living off everyone else?

    Where do you come with this bullshit distorted views that nobody wants to work hard or that everybody wants a handout?

    Oh yeah you forgot farmers get handouts and subsidies too, so I guess you are part of the problem?

    2/3 rds her crew are town kids , but very selectively hand picked good kids .
    She has fired several though that can’t leave their phone alone , can’t show up on time or just simply can’t handle the pace she needs to keep things going .
    She runs 3 crews and one that goes ahead 3 days with a high power pressure washer to pre clean the decks , siding , stucco for all their outdoor work .
    No doubt it’s not just farm kids but I just brought it up cause 90% of us here do farm and it’s a big part of our life that things must get done , sometimes tomorrow is too late .
    Anyway , she feels fortunate to have a good crew and they work well together. Reply With Quote

    So the only problem first nations have is they just need to get a job and then everything else will be fine? LOL

    So the lack of opportunities on remote reserves, the poverty, the lack of housing, poor education, poor health and healthcare, social problems, and all the social dysfunction will magically disappear?

    If you believe that then your world must be a very simple place. Reply With Quote

  • Jun 3, 2023 | 06:42 20 Did you forget that people with good incomes can also have drinking and substance abuse problems?

    You are judging first nations from your own experience and upbringing where probably many of those problems didn't exist and you took a lot of things for granted that don't exist on first nations.

    Most farmers get a lot of help from their family to get into farming. Its almost impossible to start without your families land, equity, and machinery. And taxpayers provide a pretty good safety net of programs if things don't go well.

    Don’t forget the massive wealth we as farmers create for the rest of society. The safety net of a few programs helps , but pales in comparison to what’s contributed . Reply With Quote

    Interesting article by John Ivison. On this reserve fish farming provided full employment. I believe no suicides in this community in 25 years. Oh and the Federal Liberals want to shut it all down. Reply With Quote

    yes drinking problems can happen anywhere , my wife has a friend drives a school bus, picks up kids on reserve , big full size bus because if all the kids went to school it would be near full , drives all around and is lucky to fill 20% of the seats , who will you pin the blame on this time ? because they are too lazy to get out of bed and get the kids ready for school Reply With Quote

    Did you really expect the resident socialist to celebrate hard work, entrepreneurship, and capitalism? Someone might succeed, can't have that. Reply With Quote
